London, Sept 5 (ANI): World No.2 Roger Federer chasing a seventh successive US Open final, moved into the fourth round after mastering brutal winds and a flaky opponent, France's Paul-Henri Mathieu, who self-destructed in the tough conditions.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Federer beat Frenchman Paul-Henri Mathieu 6-4 6-3 6-3. Fellow players Novak Djokovic and Robin Soderling also moved safely into the last 16.

"That's what the wind can do to you. I kind of felt comfortable because you can also use it to your advantage and play really great tennis," Federer said.

"You have to be careful with it. Maybe not aim at the lines as much. I knew what I could do and what I couldn't do," he added. (ANI)
